Had the kung pao chicken dumpling and the shrimp tempura. The tempura batter was nice and crispy but unlike the Japanese tempura batter but still very tasty. The dumplings were soft and the filling was spicy and umami. It went with the dipping sauce well.

Mapo Tofu dumplings were $15 for 10 and tasted far worse than either of those two things would have separately. They were also tiny. The box was only a bit larger than my hand.

One of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh!! As someone who grew up eating homemade Chinese dumplings, this place reminds me so much of home— the dumplings are incredibly authentic, fresh, and delicious. My favorite is the spicy hot oil sesame dumplings. The service is also exceptional. Everyone, from the chef to the manager to the servers, is very kind, attentive, and lovely to talk to. It’s clear that every dumpling is prepared and served with care and love!

Was pretty good, but really not familiar with that kind of menu, and also you have to get a plates of 10 of all the same dumpling, so probably works better with a crew of 4+

Worst dumplings I've ever had. Bad texture, too sweet, bad flavor. People were nice; environment was fine.

We decided to visit Amazing Dumplings tonight at the recommendation of a friend! They have a great location right on Forbes Ave in squirrel Hill! It was not super busy at 5pm on a Friday night, though it did seem like they were getting a good number of takeout orders. We ordered the scallion pancake, combo fried rice, kung pao chicken dumplings, and the pork and pickled cabbage dumplings. I have to say - some of the best fried rice I've ever had. EVER. And I like to consider myself a purveyor of fried rice hah. Everything else was great! Both dumplings I thought were super creative and delicious! I enjoyed the spiciness of the kung pao ones. I love how their dumplings have color in the dough! So fun. The service was super quick and friendly! The owner came by and told us about some new specials they would have for Chinese New Year in February! They have beautiful and unique dumpling wrappers so I anticipate something beautiful! We can't wait to come back and support this small business.

Wonderful service, fantastic food, and very sweet little restaurant. My boyfriend said the dumplings are the best he's ever had, and the dry beef noodles are delicious. 10/10
The second I stepped foot in this restaurant I knew it was going to be good. It wasn't crowded at all even on a freezing day (the perfect day for dumplings). Our waitress was really nice and recommended some dumplings for us once she made sure we were okay with spice. The fried scallion pancake was delicious, as were the dumplings. And look how cute the edible flowers are! We will definitely be back here often.
Food and service were phenomenal. We got the ‘Three Fresh’, Goa’s spicy, hot oil sesame dumplings, with a green onion pancake and hot oil noodles. Would absolutely get it all again.

Just noticed this place on Forbes in Squirrel Hill - I think it's new..? Or maybe new ownership/menu. Anyway I wanted to try it. With only 15 minutes before closing, I decided to play it safe and order takeout. I got the scallion pancake plus pork and leek dumplings. Both were really good and the dumplings were fresh with the wrapper having perfect chewiness and consistency.I'm looking forward to visiting again with family/friends for dining in and trying several other kinds of dumplings as well as the rice noodles! Yum

Portions not great for price. Like others have said they taste like generic store brand.

Really good food. The general tso dumplings were awesome but the Laotongguqm sandwich stole the show.

As someone who has eaten at many Chinese restaurants and grown up eating Chinese food, this place surprised me. I wasn't expecting much but the hot oil tomato egg noodles has a lot of seasonings added to it that made it a lot better than tomato egg noodles I've had before. The dumpling were also pretty and and tasted as expected but nothing super special. The staff here was super friendly but the wait time could have been better considering I went when no one else was there. I also thought the price was a bit more expensive than I would've though considering the ingredients used to make these dishes but overall a really nice experience. This place has a pretty calm atmosphere so definitely try it out.
Amazing veg dumplings and great service!
